PatW Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) The inspiration............. The body from this kit. The rest was used to complete a MK1 Escort resin bodied Rally Car. The clear body against a new Italeri Mk2 kit.... The result.................. Edited October 25, 2018 by PatW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afx Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Nice work Pat. Those wheels/tires are a big improvement over what's in the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes here's a few of the MK1, this must be at least 5 years old or more! The 'glass' came with it. I cut out the bootlid and the bonnet was already apart, and I made up the hinges with paper clips, and wired the spark plugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dann Tier Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 BRILLIANT job, Patrick!!!, although I have to say, that even though you made it pretty darn close to the real car, i'm not so keen on the flag being up side down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 Thanks guys. Well Dann I'm just copying Ken's car flagwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglia105E Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I like both your MK II and your MK I builds...... the clear crystal body shell reminds me that I want cast a clear Gedeo body shell from my Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud mould. Not sure how that will turn out. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how that will turn out. David I've used Gedeo white plaster, and have the clear here but not used it. Using plaster with their blue moulding medium has worked very well on small items, seats, bomber seats, and surfboards. I say go for it! The black seat is a kit plastic and the surfboard with the scene on is a fridge magnet. I decal print various surfboard scenes now, and just paint the seats and attach with fast acting glues.

Anglia105E Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Thanks Pat, and I will get round to it soon! Quite a few builds going on at once..... need to concentrate on one build and get it done. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 Yes David I tried that once, building two or more at a time, but got lost so reverted to one at a time. Now retired I complete one about every 10 days or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeRS Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Thanks for sharing the pics of the Mk1with us too. Could that be the resin kit from Passion For Racers in Belgium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Really like that one Pat , it looks great ! What or who is Hooligan ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglia105E Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Pat..... I reached retirement age 11 days ago but there is so much going on, which is a good thing, that I have to remember scale model car building is a serious hobby. Over the next couple of years I hope to spend more time at the work bench ( kitchen table ) and planning to come up with some quality builds, and diorama ideas too.
